First off - thanks to Karadjgne on this thread: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/5-short-beeps-gigabyte-b360m-d2v.3306313/
I'd just finished a build of a gaming PC using all 'known good' parts ... Except for the PSU ... and the CPU (i5-14600KF)
I bought the PSU from a guy who told me he'd just upgraded to 1000W PSU and the 750W I purchased he said was taken from a stable and working PC. It was the last component on my mind to be dodgy. Even more so as the multiple LED lights and fans all came up on boot. But no screen. And 5 beeps. (If you don't have a internal speaker handy - buy one !!!)
I tried everything that didn't involved ripping a freshly pasted CPU from its socket and trying with another CPU. These 5 beeps have many, many sources and the error description is woefully un-specific. But Karadjgne mentioned the CPU power socket as being a potential cause. So I pulled out all the power cables and connected them to a known-good 750W PSU.
Hey presto. It booted to the BIOS first time! ... Thought I'd post the issue here in case others are struggling with the 5 beeps. And Karadjgne, thank you so much.
